Anti gone

ANTI GONE

Amalia Theater — 2017 / Municipal Theater of Piraeus — 2018

Anti-Gone is a multimedia performance that weaves together Sophocles’ Antigone and the wordplay of “anti-gone” — not gone, but staying and fighting. Conceived and directed by Tatou Dede in collaboration with video artist Melanie Thewlis, the work explores the adversity faced by the modern Greek woman in a time of deep economic and social crisis — her struggle to remain in her homeland, and the resilience that choice demands. Like Antigone, she stands immobile in the light: radiant, eternal, unshakeable. The journey is one of personal discovery — an internal quest to break free from the constraints of gender and reclaim a true identity. From the present to the past, from crisis to myth, Anti-Gone asks: why do we stay? What holds us here? What is our identity, our principle — and have we forgotten?
